Stellar Lumen Giveaway started

If you are a bitcoin or ripple holder you can now claim your free lumens.

They are distributing up to 16 BILLION lumens to bitcoin and ripple holders, or 16% of the initial lumens.

On June 27th, 2017, they will make available these lumens to any bitcoin holder who wants them, including those that received lumens during the first giveaway round.

How will it work?

June 26, 2017: They’ll take a snapshot of the blockchain at the first block mined with a timestamp on June 26th (UTC/GMT). This snapshot will record the coin balances of all bitcoin accounts at that time.

June 27, 2017: They’ll publish a claim page, allowing bitcoin holders to verify that they control a given bitcoin address. They will then send that address’s share of lumens to the provided Stellar account.

You can also participate when you hold your coins on an exchange, but not all exchanges support this promotion.

Bitcoin and Rippe holders, can claim Stellar Lumens until August 27th. 2017 on the Stellar website.
